|  Encounters with Aliens on this Day |
| |
|  December 20 |
| |
| 1954 At 3:00 a.m. on this day in Valencia, Venezuela an employee of |
| the Barbula Sanatorium saw a luminous UFO on the ground but decided |
| not to report it until another employee, three hours later, saw the |
| same craft. It took off soon after the second witness spotted it |
| (Source: Passport to Magonia, A Century of Landings, case 357; Coral |
| E. Lorenzen, Flying Saucer Occupants, p. 52). |
| |
| 1958 At 12:55 a.m. two policemen, Officers Arboreen and Talada of |
| the Dunellen Township police department in Middlesex County, New |
| Jersey, watched in amazement as a glowing red, football-shaped UFO |
| came directly at their police cruiser. The UFO came to an abrupt stop |
| a short distance away, pulsated while hovering, and then shot |
| straight up into the sky and was gone. (Source: NICAP case |
| investigation files). |
| |
| 1958 - Not far from Domsten, Sweden Hans Gustavsson, age 35, and Stig |
| Rydberg, 30, saw something strange in the woods near the village of |
| Haganas and stopped their car to observe it. They discovered that it |
| was a disc about five meters wide, set on tripod landing gear. Next |
| they were suddenly attacked by four gray-colored creatures described |
| as "fluid" in appearance, but one of the men reached the car and blew |
| the horn for help. The beings then fled and the craft took off, |
| emitting "paralyzing vibrations." (Source: Passport to Magonia, A |
| Century of Landings, case 478). |
| |
| 1958 On that same day at four oclock in the afternoon in France, |
| or nine hours later, a disc-shaped UFO was seen near the ground in |
| Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-Dome department. The 20-meter diameter |
| object caused some damage on the ground. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, |
| Computerized catalogue, case # 2802, citing Quincy; Passport to |
| Magonia, A Century of Landings, case 477). |
| |
| 1959 At 2:20 a.m. on a clear night with the full Moon high in the |
| sky, eight disc-shaped craft maneuvered and seemed to be playing tag |
| over the shoreline in Redondo Beach, California. They were bright |
| yellow and bronze in color. (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case 5875, citing Loren Gross, The Fifth Horseman of the |
| Apocalypse. UFOs: A History, 1959 (volume 4), p. 56). |
| |
| 1965 A 15-year-old youth named Burns was driving home in his pickup |
| truck in Herman, Minnesota at 11:45 p.m. when a glowing green |
| disc-shaped UFO suddenly appeared, hovering six feet over the road. |
| The object made a whistling sound while the trucks engine stalled |
| and its headlights died. The object began to glow red and rose |
| straight up into the air, giving off sparks. The witness lost |
| consciousness. When he awoke, he found that his truck had been turned |
| around and was resting in a roadside ditch. (Sources: Flying Saucer |
| Review, November-December, 1966; Gordon I. R. Lore, Strange Effects |
| from UFOs, p. 50; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle |
| Interference, case 157). |
| |
| 1968 Seven people saw a domed disc with an antenna move back and |
| forth over a school in Havelock, New Zealand at 11:20 in the morning. |
| The UFO was in sight for ten minutes. (Source: NICAP files, citing a |
| newspaper clipping dated December 20, 1968). |
| |
| 1970 - A humanoid figure about 90 centimeters (three feet) in height |
| was seen floating up into a transparent round object on this night in |
| Itaperuna, Brazil. Two other beings of the same stature were seen |
| inside the object. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1970, citing Revista Brasileira OVNIs). |
| |
| 1971 Mr. da Silva e Souza, 60, saw an intense blue-lighted object |
| on the ground near the airport in Itaperuna, Brazil. The UFO was |
| about eight feet long, transparent, ovoid shaped, and was illuminated |
| from within by a blue light. A short humanoid, less than a meter |
| tall, walked around the craft once, and then seemed to float up into |
| the air and enter the craft from above, feet first. There were two |
| other short beings seated inside. The craft then flew away. (Source: |
| Jean-Claude Bourret, The Crack in the Universe: What you have not |
| been told about flying saucers, p. 118, citing a report from the |
| Brazilian Air Force). |
| |
| 1973 Two men, Klinn and Wagner, sighted a huge, yellowish glowing |
| blob over Pacific Palisades, California at 2:15 a.m. It had flashing |
| lights forming a triangle. They watched it through a 16x telescope. |
| Forty-five minutes later a huge cigar-shaped UFO with four or five |
| along the side and an appendage appeared in the sky, followed by a |
| domed disc. The entire event lasted 82 minutes, until 3:37 a.m. when |
| the lights went off. (Source: Flying Saucers, December 1974, p. 10). |
| |
| 1973 In the afternoon Mrs. Brooker saw a cone-shaped UFO with |
| flashing lights ascend vertically “very, very fast” leaving behind a |
| trail of smoke in the eastern sky over Norman, Oklahoma. That same |
| day a cattle mutilation was reported having occurred two miles east |
| of Concordia, Kansas. (Sources: Norman Transcript, December 21, 1973; |
| Kansas City Times, December 22, 1973). |
| |
| 1973 That night three teenage girls sighted an oval-shaped object |
| with portholes while driving on a highway eight miles east of Casino, |
| New South Wales, Australia. The UFO made sharp maneuvers, circled the |
| city, flew up high in the sky and came back down to a low altitude. |
| It changed color from red to green to white, and was surrounded by a |
| blue haze. (Source: Richmond River (NSW) Express, January 4, 1978). |
| |
| 1976 There were thirteen UFO reports in the early morning hours |
| from various provinces of Spain, including Granada, Malaga, Valencia, |
| Murcia, Alicante, Melilla, and Cadiz. At 1:50 a.m. several witnesses |
| watched a metallic appearing object radiate luminous rays of light |
| and light up the sky with an intense luminosity in Malaga, Spain. A |
| few minutes later yellow, red, and bluish green balls of light flew |
| over Valencia, Alicante, and Almeria. Objects flew rapidly toward the |
| south or southwest. At 2:00 a.m. an enormous blue violet ball of |
| light flew over Malaga at high speed. Ten minutes later a triangular |
| or cone-shaped UFO, pale blue in color, flew from the north to the |
| south over Murcia. A huge ovoid object, blue violet in color, was |
| also seen flying in the same direction over Algeciras, Spain at about |
| the same time. On the same day the Sloop Rippe disappeared |
| mysteriously in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida, |
| southeast of Fort Lauderdale. (Sources: Sanchez de Medina Fermin, |
| Stendek, June 1978, pp. 2-4; George Eberhart, A Geo-Bibliography of |
| Anomalies, p. 411, citing Richard Winer). |
| |
| 1978 At five oclock in the morning three people on the balcony of |
| their house south of the city of Sorrento, Italy watched a huge |
| sphere low in the sky over the shoreline of the Mediterranean. It |
| made an odd noise like radio static, and vanished. Less than three |
| hours later at 7:20 GMT a silver triangle-shaped object crossed the |
| sky at a high altitude flying from west to east over the town of |
| Yarnton, Oxfordshire, England. At eight p.m. that evening an orange |
| ovoid object left a dark mass near the ground for 30 minutes in the |
| town of Tarranto, Italy. The two witnesses fled in terror. Radio |
| interference was experienced at the same time. (Sources: Lumieres |
| dans la Nuit, issues 216 and 240; D. N. Mansell, Awareness, April |
| 1979, p. 12, citing Data Research). |
| |
| 1978 Several luminous UFOs zigzagged over Caracas, Venezuela in the |
| early morning hours. They were seen by dozens of witnesses. (Source: |
| Jane Thomas, UFO Newsclipping Service, March 1979, p. 14, citing La |
| Razon, December 20, 1978). |
| |
| 1979 A huge diamond-shaped object was seen low in the sky at 9:45 |
| p.m. by several witnesses outside Des Moines, Iowa. (Source: MUFON |
| UFO Journal, February 1981). |
| |
| 1983 A witness driving in Riverside, California at 5:30 p.m. had |
| his car buzzed by a 7” wide sphere that had pegs protruding from it. |
| It flew by the car at eye level. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, December |
| 1983, p. 4). |
| |
| 1985 On this night a red ovoid object rose from a quarry in |
| Meliden, Wales into the clouds. (Source: Paul Devereax, Earth Lights |
| Revelation, p. 73). |
| |
| 1992 At 7:10 p.m. two independent male witnesses, one with field |
| glasses, watched a multi-colored, disc-shaped UFO fly from the |
| northeast over a lake in East Holden, Maine. It flew south over a |
| highway and “went down behind some trees near the Holdbrook School.” |
